The capacitor further includes a second graphene structure over the dielectric layer, wherein the second graphene structure has a second plurality of graphene layers.

BACKGROUND

Capacitors which include metallic electrodes, such as metal oxide metal (MOM) or metal insulator metal (MIM) capacitors, use metallic components such as aluminum or copper in order to form the capacitors. An MOM capacitor has an ability to store less than 10 femtoFarads per square micron (fF/μm²). An MIM capacitor has an ability to store about 30 fF/μm² to about 100 fF/μm².

In some instances, a storage ability per unit area is increased using dielectric material having a high dielectric constant, i.e., a high-k dielectric material. In some instances, a storage ability per unit area is increased using a thin electrode formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD).

Dielectric layer 154 is positioned between first grapheme structure 152 and second graphene structure 156 in order to form a capacitor structure. A first contact structure 158 is electrically connected to first graphene structure 152. First contact structure 158 is configured to transfer charge into and out of first graphene structure 152. A second contact structure 160 is electrically connected to second graphene structure 156. Second contact structure 160 is configured to transfer charge into and out of second graphene structure 156.

Substrate 102 includes active devices or passive devices. In some embodiments, the active devices include transistors, thyristors, or other suitable active devices. In some embodiments, the passive devices include resistors or other suitable passive devices. In some embodiments, substrate 102 includes memory cells or processing circuitry.

Interconnect structure 104 includes a plurality of conductive structures configured to electrically connect active devices and passive devices within substrate 102. In some embodiments, the conductive structures include copper, aluminum, tungsten, or another suitable conductive material. Interconnect structure 104 also includes passive devices, such as capacitor 150, resistors, or other suitable passive devices. Interconnect structure 104 includes a dielectric material surrounding the plurality of conductive structures in order to help reduce cross-talk between adjacent conductive structures. In some embodiments, the dielectric material includes silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitirde, or another suitable dielectric material. In some embodiments, interconnect structure 104 includes contact pads for connecting to other substrates. In some embodiments, the contact pads are usable to form a three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC).

Conductive element 110 is one of the plurality of conductive structures of interconnect structure 104. In some embodiments, conductive element 110 includes copper, aluminum, tungsten or another suitable conductive material. Conductive element 110 is usable to connect active devices or passive devices in substrate 102. Conductive element 110 is also usable to transfer charge into a layer of first graphene structure 152 closest to substrate 102.

Capacitor 150 is over conductive element 110. Capacitor 150 is usable to store charge within interconnect structure 104. Capacitor 150 is also usable to help reduce fluctuations in voltage passing through interconnect structure 104. Capacitor 150 includes first graphene structure 152 and second graphene structure 154.

Graphene is a layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional array. The carbon atoms are arranged in a hexagonal pattern. The two-dimensional array of carbon atoms helps to reduce transfer of electrical charge between separate layers of graphene. The use of graphene as electrodes in capacitor 150 helps to increase an amount of charge carrier storage ability per unit area in comparison with other electrode materials.

In contrast, metallic electrodes are capable of transferring charge carriers in both a direction parallel to a top surface of substrate 102 and a direction perpendicular to the top surface of substrate 102. As a result, the metallic electrodes store charge carriers near external surfaces of the electrodes. Storing charge carriers mainly near surfaces of the metallic electrodes means that middle portions of the metallic electrodes are not used to store charge carrier, which reduces charge carrier storage per unit area. By increasing charge carrier storage ability per unit area, an overall area of the electrodes are able to be reduced while maintaining charge storage ability in order to help reduce an overall size of a semiconductor device.

Use of graphene electrodes instead of metallic electrodes also helps to reduce the need to use expensive high-k dielectric materials, such as zirconium oxide or hafnium oxide. Graphene electrodes also make it possible to reduce the need to use slower expensive formation techniques, such as atomic layer deposition (ALD). As a result, the use of graphene electrode also helps to increase throughput and reduce cost during a manufacturing process in comparison with metallic electrodes. The two-dimensional array structure of graphene also helps to facilitate tuning of an overall capacitance of capacitor 150 by adjusting a number of layers in a graphene structure.

First graphene structure 152 includes plurality of layers of graphene. A number of layers within first graphene structure 152 is selected based on a desired storage capacity of capacitor 150. In some embodiments, a number of layers in first graphene structure 152 ranges from about 2 layers to about 20 layers. In some embodiments, the number of layers is greater than 20 layers in order to further increase an overall storage capacity of capacitor 150. Each of the layers in first graphene structure 152 resists transfer of charge carriers to adjacent layers of the first graphene structure. Even when a charge difference exists between adjacent layers, the two-dimensional array of carbon atoms in first graphene structure 152 resists transfer of charge carriers between layers.

Dielectric layer 154 is over first graphene structure 152. In some embodiments, an area of the dielectric layer 154 matches an area of first graphene structure 152. In some embodiments, first graphene structure 152 includes a portion which is exposed by dielectric layer 154. In some embodiments, dielectric layer 154 includes silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or another suitable dielectric material. In some embodiments, a material of dielectric layer 154 is a same material as the dielectric material of interconnect structure 104. In some embodiments, the material of dielectric layer is different from the material of the dielectric material of interconnect structure 104. In some embodiments, a thickness of dielectric layer 154 ranges from about 100 angstroms (Å) to about 500 Å. If the thickness of dielectric layer 154 is too small, the dielectric layer is not capable of sufficiently insulating first graphene structure 152 from second graphene structure 156 and charge is directly exchanged between the first graphene structure and the second graphene structure, in some embodiments. If the thickness of dielectric layer 154 is too large, a leakage of capacitor 150 increases above an acceptable level, in some embodiments.

Second graphene structure 156 includes plurality of layers of graphene. In some embodiments, an area of second graphene structure 156 is less than an area of first graphene structure 152 or an area of dielectric layer 154. In some embodiments, the area of second graphene structure 156 is equal to or greater than the area of first graphene structure 152 or the area of dielectric layer 154. A number of layers within second graphene structure 156 is selected based on a desired storage capacity of capacitor 150. In some embodiments, a number of layers in second graphene structure 156 ranges from about 2 layers to about 20 layers. In some embodiments, the number of layers is greater than 20 layers in order to further increase an overall storage capacity of capacitor 150. In some embodiments, the number of layers in second graphene structure 156 is equal to the number of layers in first graphene structure 152. In some embodiments, the number of layers in second graphene structure 156 is different from the number of layers in first graphene structure 152. Each of the layers in second graphene structure 156 resists transfer of charge carriers to adjacent layers of the first graphene structure. Even when a charge difference exists between adjacent layers, the two-dimensional array of carbon atoms in second graphene structure 156 resists transfer of charge carriers between layers.

First contact structure 158 is configured to electrically connect to first graphene structure 152. In some embodiments, first contact structure 158 is a cathode. In some embodiments, first contact structure 158 is an anode. In some embodiments, first contact structure 158 includes a conductive material, e.g., copper, aluminum, tungsten, or another suitable conductive material. In some embodiments, first contact structure 158 further includes a barrier layer, e.g., tantalum nitride, titanium nitride, or another suitable barrier layer. The barrier layer helps to prevent or minimize conductive material from first contact structure from diffusing into first graphene structure 152. In some embodiments, first contact structure 158 extends through both dielectric layer 154 into first graphene structure 152. In some embodiments, first contact structure 158 extends into a portion of first graphene structure 152 exposed by dielectric layer 154.

Due to the resistance to charge transfer to between separate layers of first graphene structure 152, first contact structure 158 extends into the first graphene structure to contact multiple layers of graphene in order to enhance charge transfer between the first contact structure and the first graphene structure. In some embodiments, first contact structure 158 contacts all graphene layers in first graphene structure 152. In some embodiments, first contact structure 158 contacts less than all graphene layers in first graphene structure 152.

Second contact structure 160 is configured to electrically connect to second graphene structure 156. In some embodiments, second contact structure 160 is a cathode. In some embodiments, second contact structure 160 is an anode. In some embodiments, second contact structure 160 includes a conductive material, e.g., copper, aluminum, tungsten, or another suitable conductive material. In some embodiments, second contact structure 160 further includes a barrier layer, e.g., tantalum nitride, titanium nitride, or another suitable barrier layer. The barrier layer helps to prevent or minimize conductive material from first contact structure from diffusing into second graphene structure 160.

Due to the resistance to charge transfer to between separate layers of second graphene structure 156, second contact structure 160 extends into the second graphene structure to contact multiple layers of graphene in order to enhance charge transfer between the second contact structure and the second graphene structure. In some embodiments, second contact structure 160 contacts all graphene layers in second graphene structure 156. In some embodiments, second contact structure 160 contacts less than all graphene layers in second graphene structure 156. In some embodiments, second contact structure 160 extends through second graphene structure 156 into dielectric layer 154.

FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device 100′ in accordance with some embodiments. Semiconductor device 100′ is similar to semiconductor device 100 and similar elements have a same reference number. In comparison with semiconductor device 100, semiconductor device 100′ includes a growth layer 170 between dielectric layer 154 and second graphene structure 156.

Growth layer 170 is used to enhance an ability to form second graphene structure 156 over dielectric layer 154. In order to form second graphene structure 156 of semiconductor device 100 having a suitable resistivity over dielectric layer 154, a growth temperature of about 700° C. is used to form the second graphene structure. This growth temperature can be potentially damaging to back end process structures such as interconnect structure 104. The growth temperature causes diffusion of conductive material from conductive elements within interconnect structure 104 into surrounding dielectric material. This diffusion will decrease an ability of the surrounding dielectric material to reduce cross-talk between neighboring conductive elements.

In contrast, semiconductor device 100′ includes growth layer 170 between dielectric layer 154 and second graphene structure 156 in order to reduce a growth temperature of the second graphene structure of semiconductor device 100′. In some embodiments, the growth temperature of second graphene structure 156 on growth layer 170 ranges from about 400° C. to about 600° C. This lower growth temperature helps reduce the risk of damage to back end processing structures such as interconnect structure 104.

In some embodiments, growth layer 170 includes copper, aluminum, tungsten or another suitable material. In some embodiments, growth layer 170 has a thickness ranging from about 100 nanometers (nm) to about 500 nm. In some embodiments, if the thickness of growth layer 170 is too small, the growth layer is not able to sufficiently assist in formation of second graphene structure 156. If the thickness of growth layer 170 is too great, size of semiconductor device 100′ is increased without a significant increase in formation ability of second graphene structure 156.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a contact structure 200 in accordance with some embodiments. Contact structure 200 is indicated as an example of second contact structure 160 (FIG. 1A). Although discussed with respect to contact structure 160, the details of contact structure 200 are also applicable to first contact structure 158. Contact structure 200 includes a conductive material 162 surrounded by a barrier layer 164. Contact structure 200 extends into an opening in second graphene structure 156. In some embodiments, the opening in second graphene structure 156 has substantially vertical sidewalls. Substantially is used here to account for variation from vertical attributable to production variation during manufacturing of contact structure 200. In some embodiments, the opening in second graphene structure 156 has tapered sidewalls. The tapered sidewalls of the opening mean that a width of the opening closest to dielectric layer 154 (FIG. 1A) is less than a width of the opening farthest from the dielectric layer.

In some embodiments, contact structure 200 extends completely through second graphene structure 156 in order to contact all graphene layers within the second graphene structure. In some embodiments, contact structure 200 extends only partially through second graphene structure 156.

Conductive material 162 is usable to transfer charge carriers into and out of second graphene structure 156. In some embodiments, conductive material 162 includes copper, aluminum, tungsten or another suitable conductive material.

Barrier layer 164 helps to prevent or minimize diffusion of carbon from second graphene structure 156 into conductive layer 162 and helps to prevent or minimize diffusion of conductive material 162 into the second graphene structure. In some embodiments, barrier layer 164 includes tantalum nitride, titanium nitride, or another suitable barrier material.

The contact structures include a first contact structure, e.g., first contact structure 158 (FIG. 1A), in the first graphene structure. The contact structure further include a second contact structure, e.g., second contact structure 160 (FIG. 1A), in the second graphene structure.
